Venetoclax Basket Trial for High Risk Hematologic Malignancies
United States30 participantsStarted 2023-03-29
Plain-language summary
This trial is evaluating the safety and tolerability of venetoclax with chemotherapy in pediatric and young adult patients with hematologic malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia derived from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS/AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL).

Inclusion Criteria
Cohort A Inclusion Criteria:
* MDS, AML arising from MDS (MDS/AML), therapy related myeloid neoplasm (tMDS/AML) meeting at least one of the following criteria:
* MDS with excess blasts (\>10%)
* MDS with blasts \<10% with high-risk features
* MDS refractory to initial treatment
* Relapsed MDS
* MDS/AML: May be newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory disease.
* Therapy related myeloid neoplasm (tMDS/AML): May be initial or relapsed/refractory disease.
* Note: MDS or MDS/AML may be derived from a germline predisposition to myeloid malignancy as long as that condition does not confer increased toxicity to treatment.
* Age ≤ 40 years of age, except the following subjects that must be \<18 years to enroll
* Subjects with MDS/AML that have not received prior therapy
* Subjects enrolled onto Dose level -2.
* Lansky/Karnofsky performance status ≥ 50%
* Participants must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all and meet all of the following criteria:
* Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: 14 days, or 5 half-lifes (whichever is shorter) must have elapsed since the completion of myelosuppressive therapy. Individuals may have received any of the following medications without a "wash-out" period
* Standard maintenance therapy: dexamethasone/prednisone, vincristine, 6MP, low dose methotrexate)
* Hydroxyurea
* Intrathecal chemotherapy with methotrexate, hydrocortisone and/or cytarabine.
* Radiation therapy (XRT):
* …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
